BRB UK 660: The Monopath Less Travelled

It's that time again, as Tim and Coleman return with a fresh pile of games and a fair bit of news. This week, the lads dig into Octopath Traveller 0, Where Winds Meet, and the closed beta for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. We're also taking a moment to acknowledge the sad passing of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (the iconic Shang Tsung himself) before picking through another batch of headlines: Harada stepping away from Bandai Namco, Black Flag's remake sailing under a new name, former Perfect Dark heads reuniting in a brand-new 2K studio, and a Postal project getting called out for sneaky AI visuals.
